Did you try direct? How you buy it though it doesn't say but it is £52.

Thanks Sagecirca, I have just bought the Supatraks.
Good reviews on them.

Czech, so you would need to watch out for VAT on import plus any other taxes due.

...cheers lads...given me some ideas there...

Is it Simms studs you are looking for? If so, try these instead. Paul Proctor put me on to them years ago and everyone I know now uses these instead of paying the ridiculous prices that Simms ask for.

Fishax, has anyone used them, the prices seem too good to be true.

Made one once from birch and antler, it sat in the garage for about 5 years so I gave it to a gamekeeping friend of mine to use out stalking as he had a bad habit of losing them.

Better used even if it was for a wee while than it catching dust in the garage.

Was a simple construction held together by a double threaded bold and Gorilla glue.

Wrapped some paracord at the handle joint down about 6 inches and tied off on a loop to act as a lanyard.

Paracord is a handy thing to have to hand, even in small sections.

I gave the handle a scrub and a few coats of polyurethane varnish, to smooth it more than anything else, a wee metal cover (like a bottle cap) on the bottom, didn't do any finishing on the birch as I liked the rugged look my grandfather might have had.
